The Quintet will perform a lively and varied program of works of Tomaso Albinoni, Ingolf Dahl, Victor Ewald, Ben Monder, Richard Strauss and Inon Zur.

Members of the quintet are: Ryan Vance and Alexia Vargas, trumpet; Anthony Perez, horn; Andrew Watkins, trombone; and Daniel Larsen, tuba. The quintet will be joined by Jonathan Grant, trombone, for a brass sextet by Dahl.

The Clendenin Brass Quintet is a scholarship ensemble funded by the generosity of the Clendenin Family of Boulder, Colorado. Dr. W. Ritchie Clendenin served as the trumpet professor and previous director of the group. He retired in 2002 after a distinguished teaching and performing career at Fresno State spanning 28 years.

Selected by audition, the ensemble has earned reputation for excellence in brass chamber music. The group performs numerous concerts during the year, along with serving in a ceremonial and entertainment capacity on campus and throughout the community.
